另外,第1 LC共振器之電容器導體圖案103a經由通孔導體104i及連接導體圖案105a連接於其中一個輸入/輸出端子(未圖示)。同樣,第4 LC共振器之電容器導體圖案103d經由通孔導體104j及連接導體圖案105b連接於另一 個輸入/輸出端子(未圖示)。 The capacitor conductor pattern 103a of the first LC resonator is connected to one of the input / output terminals (not shown) via the via-hole conductor 104i and the connection conductor pattern 105a.

However, the longer the distance, the smaller the intensity of the magnetic coupling.

積層型LC濾波器1100於製品之設計階段,藉由調整鄰接之LC共振器之環形電感器間之磁耦合強度,可呈現所期望之頻率特性。並且,鄰接之LC共振器之環形電感器間之磁耦合強度之調整,可藉由調整2個環形電感器之間之距離而進行。例如,於欲增大2個環形電感器間之磁耦合強度之情形時,只要減小2個環形電感器間之距離即可。相反地,於欲減小2個環形電感器間之磁耦合強度之情形時,只要增大2個環形電感器間之距離即可。 The multilayer LC filter 1100 can exhibit desired frequency characteristics by adjusting the magnetic coupling strength between the ring inductors of adjacent LC resonators at the design stage of the product. In addition, the adjustment of the magnetic coupling strength between the ring inductors of adjacent LC resonators can be performed by adjusting the distance between the two ring inductors. For example, when the magnetic coupling strength between two toroidal inductors is to be increased, the distance between the two toroidal inductors may be reduced. Conversely, when it is desired to reduce the magnetic coupling strength between two toroidal inductors, it is only necessary to increase the distance between the two toroidal inductors.

然而,調整2個環形電感器之間之距離以調整2個環形電感器間之磁耦合強度之方法,存在積層體101會大型化之問題。尤其,於欲減小2個環形電感器間之磁耦合強度之情形時,必須增大2個環形電感器間之距離,因而存在積層體101大型化之問題。又,該方法必須使積層體101之大小具備餘裕,以便 可改變(調整)LC共振器之環形電感器之形成位置,因而存在積層體101大型化之問題。 However, the method of adjusting the distance between the two toroidal inductors to adjust the magnetic coupling strength between the two toroidal inductors has a problem that the multilayer body 101 becomes large. In particular, when it is desired to reduce the magnetic coupling strength between two toroidal inductors, it is necessary to increase the distance between the two toroidal inductors. Therefore, there is a problem that the multilayer body 101 becomes large. In addition, in this method, the size of the multilayer body 101 needs to be provided with a margin so that the formation position of the ring inductor of the LC resonator can be changed (adjusted), so there is a problem that the multilayer body 101 becomes large.

本發明係為解決上述習知問題而完成,作為其手段,本發明之積層型LC濾波器具備:長方體狀之積層體,其由複數個介電質層積層而成;複數個線路狀導體圖案,其等形成於介電質層之層間;複數個電容器導體圖案,其等形成於介電質層之層間;至少1個接地導體圖案,其形成於介電質層之層間;以及複數個通孔導體,其等係貫穿介電質層而形成,於積層體之內部,形成有由電感器與電容器並聯連接而成之複數個LC共振器,鄰接之LC共振器之電感器彼此磁耦合,LC共振器之電感器具備環形電感器,該環形電感器由線路狀導體圖案、及連接於該線路狀導體圖案兩端之1對通孔導體所構成,該環形電感器之其中一個通孔導體連接於電容器導體圖案,該環形電感器之另一個通孔導體連接於接地導體圖案,LC共振器之電容器由電容器導體圖案與接地導體圖案之間之電容所構成,於複數個LC共振器中之至少1個LC共振器中,設有磁耦合調整用電感器,設有磁耦合調整用電感器之LC共振器中,磁耦合調整用電感器之一端連接於環形電感器之中途點,且磁耦合調整用電感器之另一端連接於接地導體圖案,設有磁耦合調整用電感器之LC共振器之環形電感器及磁耦合調整用電感器與鄰接之其他LC共振器之環形電感器磁耦合。 The present invention is completed to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems. As a means thereof, the multilayer LC filter of the present invention includes a rectangular parallelepiped multilayer body formed by stacking a plurality of dielectrics, and a plurality of line-shaped conductor patterns. Are formed between the dielectric layers; a plurality of capacitor conductor patterns are formed between the dielectric layers; at least one ground conductor pattern is formed between the dielectric layers; and a plurality of vias Hole conductors are formed through the dielectric layer. Inside the multilayer body, a plurality of LC resonators formed by connecting an inductor and a capacitor in parallel are formed. The inductors of adjacent LC resonators are magnetically coupled to each other. The inductor of the LC resonator includes a toroidal inductor, which is composed of a line-shaped conductor pattern and a pair of through-hole conductors connected to both ends of the line-shaped conductor pattern. One of the through-hole conductors of the toroidal inductor Connected to the capacitor conductor pattern. The other via-hole conductor of the toroidal inductor is connected to the ground conductor pattern. The capacitor of the LC resonator is between the capacitor conductor pattern and the ground conductor pattern. The capacitor is composed of at least one LC resonator among a plurality of LC resonators. An inductor for magnetic coupling adjustment is provided. In an LC resonator provided with an inductor for magnetic coupling adjustment, the One end is connected to the midpoint of the ring inductor, and the other end of the magnetic coupling adjustment inductor is connected to the ground conductor pattern. The ring inductor provided with the LC resonator of the magnetic coupling adjustment inductor, and the magnetic coupling adjustment inductor and The ring inductors of adjacent LC resonators are magnetically coupled.

較佳為,磁耦合調整用電感器包含由線路狀導體圖案與通孔導體連接而成者,設有磁耦合調整用電感器之LC共振器中,磁耦合調整用電感器之線路狀導體圖案連接於環形電感器之與接地導體圖案連接側之通孔導體之中途點,且磁耦合調整用電感器之通孔導體連接於接地導體圖案。於此情形時,設有磁耦合調整用電感器之LC共振器之環形電感器之捲繞方向、與磁耦合調整用電感器之捲繞方向可設為逆向,因此設有磁耦合調整用電感器之LC共振器之電 感器(環形電感器及磁耦合調整用電感器)、與鄰接之其他LC共振器之電感器(環形電感器)之磁耦合強度之調整變得容易進行。 Preferably, the magnetic coupling adjustment inductor includes a line-shaped conductor pattern in which the line-shaped conductor pattern and the through-hole conductor are connected. In the LC resonator provided with the magnetic coupling adjustment inductor, the line-shaped conductor pattern of the magnetic coupling adjustment inductor The via-hole conductor connected to the ring-shaped inductor on the side connected to the ground conductor pattern, and the via-hole conductor of the magnetic coupling adjustment inductor is connected to the ground conductor pattern. In this case, the winding direction of the loop inductor of the LC resonator provided with the magnetic coupling adjustment inductor and the winding direction of the magnetic coupling adjustment inductor can be set in the reverse direction. Therefore, a magnetic coupling adjustment inductor is provided. It is easy to adjust the magnetic coupling strength of inductors (ring inductors and inductors for magnetic coupling adjustment) of LC resonators and inductors (ring inductors) of adjacent LC resonators.

可設為:設有磁耦合調整用電感器之LC共振器之環形電感器之捲繞方向、與鄰接之其他LC共振器之環形電感器之捲繞方向為相同,設有磁耦合調整用電感器之LC共振器之磁耦合調整用電感器之通孔導體,係設於鄰接之其他LC共振器之環形電感器之與電容器導體圖案連接側之通孔導體附近。於此情形時,設有磁耦合調整用電感器之LC共振器之環形電感器之捲繞方向、與鄰接之其他LC共振器之環形電感器之捲繞方向為相同,因此設有磁耦合調整用電感器之LC共振器之環形電感器與鄰接之其他LC共振器之環形電感器之磁耦合強度大。然而,於設有磁耦合調整用電感器之LC共振器之磁耦合調整用電感器中流動之電流之方向、與於鄰接之其他LC共振器之環形電感器中流動之電流之方向變得相反,因此,藉由設有磁耦合調整用電感器,綜合所見之、設有磁耦合調整用電感器之LC共振器之電感器(環形電感器及磁耦合調整用電感器)與鄰接之其他LC共振器之電感器(環形電感器)之磁耦合係被調整為減弱(減小)強度。 It can be set that the winding direction of the loop inductor of the LC resonator provided with the inductor for magnetic coupling adjustment is the same as the winding direction of the ring inductor of the adjacent LC resonator, and the inductance for the magnetic coupling adjustment is provided. The through-hole conductor of the inductor for the magnetic coupling adjustment of the LC resonator of the device is located near the through-hole conductor on the side of the ring inductor of the other LC resonator adjacent to the capacitor conductor pattern. In this case, the winding direction of the ring inductor of the LC resonator provided with the inductor for magnetic coupling adjustment is the same as the winding direction of the ring inductor of the adjacent LC resonator, so a magnetic coupling adjustment is provided. The magnetic coupling strength between the ring inductor of the LC resonator using the inductor and the ring inductor of the adjacent LC resonator is large. However, the direction of the current flowing in the magnetic coupling adjustment inductor of the LC resonator provided with the magnetic coupling adjustment inductor is opposite to the direction of the current flowing in the ring inductor of the adjacent LC resonator. Therefore, by providing an inductor for magnetic coupling adjustment, the inductors (ring inductor and inductor for magnetic coupling adjustment) of the LC resonator provided with the inductor for magnetic coupling adjustment are integrated with the adjacent LC The magnetic coupling system of the inductor (ring inductor) of the resonator is adjusted to reduce (reduce) the strength.

或者,可設為:設有磁耦合調整用電感器之LC共振器之環形電感器之捲繞方向、與鄰接之其他LC共振器之環形電感器之捲繞方向為相反,設有磁耦合調整用電感器之LC共振器之磁耦合調整用電感器之通孔導體,係設於鄰接之其他LC共振器之環形電感器之與接地導體圖案連接側之通孔導體附近。於此情形時,設有磁耦合調整用電感器之LC共振器之環形電感器之捲繞方向、與鄰接之其他LC共振器之環形電感器之捲繞方向為相反,因此設有磁耦合調整用電感器之LC共振器之環形電感器與鄰接之其他LC共振器之環形電感器之磁耦合強度小。然而,於設有磁耦合調整用電感器之LC共振器之磁耦合調整用電感器中流動之電流之方向、與於鄰接之其他LC共振器之環形電感器中流動之電 流之方向變得相同,因此,藉由設有磁耦合調整用電感器,綜合所見之、設有磁耦合調整用電感器之LC共振器之電感器(環形電感器及磁耦合調整用電感器)與鄰接之其他LC共振器之電感器(環形電感器)之磁耦合係被調整為增強(增大)強度。 Alternatively, it can be set that the winding direction of the ring inductor of the LC resonator provided with the magnetic coupling adjustment inductor is opposite to the winding direction of the ring inductor of the adjacent LC resonator, and the magnetic coupling adjustment is provided. The through-hole conductor of the inductor for the magnetic coupling adjustment of the LC resonator using the inductor is provided near the through-hole conductor on the side of the ring inductor adjacent to the other LC resonator, which is connected to the ground conductor pattern. In this case, the winding direction of the loop inductor of the LC resonator provided with the magnetic coupling adjustment inductor is opposite to the winding direction of the ring inductor of the adjacent LC resonator, so a magnetic coupling adjustment is provided. The magnetic coupling strength between the ring inductor of the LC resonator using the inductor and the ring inductor of the adjacent LC resonator is small. However, the direction of the current flowing in the magnetic coupling adjustment inductor of the LC resonator provided with the magnetic coupling adjustment inductor is the same as the direction of the current flowing in the ring inductor of the adjacent LC resonator. Therefore, by providing an inductor for magnetic coupling adjustment, the inductors (ring inductor and inductor for magnetic coupling adjustment) of the LC resonator provided with the inductor for magnetic coupling adjustment are integrated with the adjacent LC The magnetic coupling system of the inductor (ring inductor) of the resonator is adjusted to increase (increase) the strength.

Therefore, the inductors L1 to L5 of the first to fifth LC resonators LC1 to LC5 are each adjacent to each other and have a large magnetic strength. coupling.

例如,第1 LC共振器LC1之電感器L1之環形電感器、與第2 LC共振器LC2之電感器L2之環形電感器之捲繞方向相同,以大的強度磁耦合。然而,第1 LC共振器LC1具備磁耦合調整用電感器LX1,磁耦合調整用電感器LX1發揮功能,以將上述大強度之磁耦合減弱(減小)一定量。即,於磁耦合調整用電感器LX1中,電流係與第2 LC共振器LC2之電感器L2中流動之電流逆向地流動,磁耦合調整用電感器LX1發揮功能,以減弱(減小)綜合所見之、第1 LC共振器LC1之電感器(電感器L1及磁耦合調整用電感器LX1)與第2 LC共振器LC2之電感器(電感器L2)之磁耦合強度。 For example, the loop inductor of the inductor L1 of the first LC resonator LC1 and the loop inductor of the inductor L2 of the second LC resonator LC2 have the same winding direction, and are magnetically coupled with a large strength. However, the first LC resonator LC1 includes a magnetic coupling adjustment inductor LX1, and the magnetic coupling adjustment inductor LX1 functions to weaken (reduce) the large-intensity magnetic coupling by a certain amount. That is, in the magnetic coupling adjustment inductor LX1, the current flows in the reverse direction from the current flowing in the inductor L2 of the second LC resonator LC2, and the magnetic coupling adjustment inductor LX1 functions to weaken (reduce) the synthesis. The magnetic coupling strength between the inductor (inductor L1 and magnetic coupling adjustment inductor LX1) of the first LC resonator LC1 and the inductor (inductor L2) of the second LC resonator LC2 is seen.

However, the fifth LC resonator LC5 includes a magnetic coupling adjustment inductor LX5, and the magnetic coupling adjustment inductor LX5 functions to weaken (reduce) the aforementioned large-intensity magnetic coupling by a certain amount. That is, in the magnetic coupling adjustment inductor LX5, the current flows in the reverse direction from the current flowing through the inductor L4 of the fourth LC resonator LC4, and the magnetic coupling adjustment inductor LX5 functions to weaken (reduce) the synthesis. The magnetic coupling strength between the inductor (inductor L4) of the fourth LC resonator LC4 and the inductor (inductor L5 and magnetic coupling adjustment inductor LX5) of the fifth LC resonator LC5 is seen.
